At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Everybody Works received an average score of 82, based on 12 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[4] Judy Berman, writing for Pitchfork, gave Everybody Works a positive review, stating, "Everybody Works is a careful, wise, and excellent album. It's not bedroom pop because it sounds a certain way, but because it feels so intimate"; she gave the album a "Best New Music" designation.[11] Jody Amable, writing for Consequence of Sound, said, "Everybody Works is the next logical half-step from her Polyvinyl debut, Turn Into. That record was a hushed affair, mainly carried out in either softly-delivered vocals or a dose of distortion. The tender tendencies are still there, but she's singing with slightly more force than last time. Jay Som has built upon her established identity as a skilled songwriter with a long future ahead of her to craft a varied and vibrant record that's a steady, reliably smart listen from start to end."[8]
